Cleaning removes dirt.
Sanitizing removes invisible danger. Cleaning and sanitizing are not the same. A surface can look clean but still carry harmful bacteria. In our kitchen SOP, we prepare 50L of water with 25ml sanitizer, replace the solution every 2–4 hours (or sooner if dirty), and allow the sanitizer the required contact time before wiping. Clean utensils, proper sanitizing, and correct procedures help protect food, guests, and the entire kitchen.
